Reviews

What people praise

Broad testing for the price

Members value getting a wide range of lab tests together, especially when they compare the membership cost with arranging individual tests themselves.

Results that are easier to understand

Reviewers appreciate explanations alongside their lab numbers, helping them understand what stands out rather than working through a list of results on their own.

Straightforward lab appointments

Members describe easy scheduling and convenient partner-lab visits, with the ordering and blood-draw process requiring little effort on their part.

A useful picture over time

Members value comparing results across testing rounds and keeping their health information together, giving them more to discuss with their own doctor.

What people complain about

Getting through to a person

Some members describe repeated exchanges with automated support without reaching someone who can resolve a missing result, account issue or specific testing question.

Advice can feel generic

Some reviewers find the guidance too general and want someone to connect the findings to their individual situation and explain which next steps matter most.

Incomplete or delayed results

Members report occasions when results arrive late or an expected test is missing, leaving them to chase answers or arrange additional follow-up.

Sharing results takes extra work

Some members find it cumbersome to download a complete set of results or share them with their doctor in a useful format.

Stories

An added hormone test helps explain subtle changes

Catherine added an IGF-1 test to her Function membership and found a markedly high result. Specialist follow-up uncovered a pituitary tumor; after surgery, she reported improvements in her hormone and blood-sugar results.
